AJ Lee’s current WWE run appears to have reached its natural conclusion, at least for now.
According to WrestleVotes Radio on Fightful Select, a WWE source has indicated that AJ Lee’s creative at this time is effectively done. There is hope internally that she will return for more programs and matches in the future, with a SummerSlam appearance among the possibilities being discussed within the company. No formal plans are currently in place.
Lee returned to WWE in September 2025 alongside her husband CM Punk, initially involved in a rivalry with Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch before entering a standalone feud with Lynch over the Women’s Intercontinental Championship. She defeated Lynch to capture the title at Elimination Chamber, marking her first singles championship in WWE in over a decade. Lee dropped Lynch at WrestleMania 42 night one in Las Vegas in what was her first WrestleMania appearance since WrestleMania 31.
Earlier this week, Lee shared this statement on Instagram regarding her WWE run, WrestleMania match with Lynch and more:
“Wrestlemania and assorted cuteness from the past eight months part two
Allow me to be sappy and then forget this ever happened. Rebecca, you’re selfless, hilarious, and pure joy to spar with. Thank you for keeping me safe and making me better. Jess, thank you for being a true partner in our matches and always calming my anxiety. Carla and Aoife, I fell in love with wrestling again by seeing it through your eyes. I’m so proud to be a teeny part of your journey. You’re way cooler and more talented than I ever was. But I still have to kick your asses one day. Pam, you’re the undisputed GOAT. Thank you for going out of your way to help me train, to make every show so f’ing fun, and for healing my jaded heart. To all the women in the locker room, I admire and respect you so damn much. You are my wildest dreams for women’s wrestling come true. Thank you for making me feel so welcome and supported and dealing with my obnoxiously loud laugh.
To my AJ Leegion, my mania entrance was a love letter to you, and to every girl who will become her own superhero. Thank you for supporting me for two decades, selling out my merchandise, giving me record-setting views, and making Converse a small fortune with your AJ cosplay. Your passion kept me coming back. Stay weird, see you soon.”
